And i received this cool picture of Candy Store owner and big man Jay Read rocking the tee:

And then someone sent me this picture they had found online that appears to be a tattoo of one of my paintings. I have no other information about this tattoo- and feel bad- because i am extremely flattered that people want to get my work tattooed- but wish they would either contact me first so i can suggest what i think would work and wouldn’t work, or at least find a good tattoo artist capable of doing the job at hand.
